Description
"Are We Free Yet?: The Black Queer Guide to Divorcing America' is simultaneously a personal reflection and a collective examination of our relationship to liberation and oppression. In it, author Tina Strawn, host of the Speaking of Racism podcast and Instagram platform of the same name, shares her intimate experiences of queerness and Blackness, heartbreak and loss, foreign and home, as she navigates and finds freedom. Alongside Strawn's personal journey of navigating challenging transitions, Are We Free Yet? offers an interactive guide to four pillars of activism: joy, liberation, pleasure, and connection. From the role of cannabis to the importance of embracing our grief, this book offers a critical take on all it means to be an American and an activist, offering deep reflections and discussions on race, social change, sexuality, healing, and the complexities of divorce, all through a radical, queer, Black feminist lens."--
